The thing that I loved about Jeff was that he was such a versatile drummer. He could play anything from Jazz or Hard Rock to Pop or Progressive Rock, and others. RIP Jeff, wish they showed more of him.

Jeff Porcaro, Mike Porcaro and Carlos Vega in my heart !!! Thiago from Brazil !!!

First heard this when I was 15, I shit myself literally, not only because Pocaro was grooving like a beast with Penas, but Larrys solo is so full of love and emotion, I still today get massive shivers when I hear his competence being spunked all over the auditorium, much love LARRY AND CREW, BAD MOTHERFUCKERS TO THE ABSOLUTE MAX....RIP Jeff. :(

Jeff Porcaro on drums!

At 4:43 Porcaro puts on a ghost note, open close hi hat clinic like only he can. His style is so easily identifiable to most JP afficionados. Alex Acuña on percussion makes this all the more better. Thanks for posting.

Well said! I've been a super-duper fan of Larry CARL-TONE for more than 45 years! I became a student when the "STRIKES TWICE" album came out in 1981! The moment I heard "Midnight Parade" I was literally emotionally taken aback! Next day I bought the album and haven't stopped studying Larry's absolutely UNIQUE style! He delivers-the-shivers ................ Mr. Larry Carl-tone~!~!~!~

Always liked Larry, but his solo on this vid is probably not only the best I've ever heard of him, but also one of the best I've ever heard by any musician. It is a PERFECT blend of technique and feeling, mixing feedback effects, sick bluesy and jazzy licks in a perfect manner, starting slow, and then developping into an explosive climax over John Pena's funky bassline. Should be taught in music schools all across the world, and not only to young guitar players - to everyone, period.

Larry is legendary. ✌️

Larry Carlton forever, man

Wow! RIP Jeff Porcaro...Died: August 5, 1992

The album is the soundtrack of my university years, and I heard him live in Hong Kong once around the late 80s, both Last Night and the control and emotional burst of Emotion Wound Us So strikes to the heart.

BAM!!!

Porcaro and Alex Acuna...Brilliant....Larry picked a God like band...

And the thing that I love about Larry, is that he tries to let the other bands members be at the forefront and be more prominent, instead of trying to show-off and be the best musician out there. But, I will say that Larry is one incredible guitarist, and add Jeff, Alex, Greg, and I don’t know what the other percussionist name is, but with all those people you got a crazy (in a good way) band.

Killer, I had this on VHS, but it got scrubbed.....amazing. Thanks for posting this, its abosoltely Gold.

frighteningly skilled guitarist.I could listen to Larry all day long,covers all the bases and disciplines.Shred guitar bores me after 20 measures,you can't wow with speed alone,LC's still dropping jaws 40 years later.....

I'm not a guitarist but always loved the way LARRY CARLTON PLAYED.

How I still love this….have been heavily into Larry, learnt most of stuff up to the Friends album…..used to jam insanely to Sleepwalk,Mr 335 live in Japan, Live at the Baked Potato. Transcribed Strikes Twice….I owe a lot to him….he just doesn’t know…..😅

From an ancient VHS tape recorded in the early 80's, the complete version , what a solo !! what a band !! complete musical economy and sharing socialism. Space and timing and a superb example of how Jazz should be.

Timeless.

A video and fav groove of my teen years.. Thanks for the upload. On repeat this morning in '21.

Larry Carlton,, what else can you say,,, unbelievable, especially at about 5:40, unreal!!!

That's also Mike Fisher on percussion. Great band!

This is simply brilliant, as good as it gets. What a rhythm section!!! Alex Acuna, John Pena on bass, the other percussionist (another Pena?) and the incomparable Jeff Porcaro on drums. Porcaro was always such a monster, but I thought he did his best work with Carlton. And Larry, OMG Larry. NOBODY played guitar with the dynamics that LC does. And that twist your gut dissonance in parts of his solo. It saddens me when I think that this music has faded from the pubic's consciousness. People now "genre-ize" it as "smooth jazz." Man, there is nothing "smooth" or white bread about this at all. Try "Bite Jazz."

Finally, thank you so much !

thanks for uploading this...

YOU KNOW HOW EVERYONE CALLS THERE FAVORITE GUITARIST THE"VERY BEST"? WELL,,, I AM GOING TO SAY IT,,, AND LARRY IS CERTAINLY DESERVING OF THAT TITLE, I AM ABSOLUTELY SERIOUS. TELL ME,, ANYONE IN KZread LAND,, WHO ELSE IS THERE OUT THERE THAT CAN PLAY BLUES, JAZZ, POP, FUNK, LATIN, SAMBA, FUSION, AND SOME CLASSICAL? I'M A LONG TIME GUITARIST AND LARRY IS THE ONLY ONE THAT SENDS SHIVERS DOWN EVERY PART OF ME, LITERALLY! ROBBEN FORD IS THE ONLY OTHER EMOTIONAL PLAYER ABLE TO DO THAT TO ME. L.C. #1

It wasn´t Jeff. It was Acuña and he was using a rainstick. Not ON the cymbal but near it. Probably to make the overhead register it.

At this time Larry was using custom made "Valley Arts" versions of strats, tele's, and for a while stopped using the Gibson ES-335 mostly because he was needing guitars that were able to cut through the mid-range and compete with the treble slightly! Since getting more and more into the blues,, he's fallen back in love with his main axe the ~ES-335~ ~!~

Not complete...edit at 2:54 :(. . Great track and post nonetheless

Jeff!
